ADS member Stephen Goranson has found a version of the law, not yet generalized or bearing that name, in a report by Alfred Holt at an 1877 meeting of an engineering society.

W Ursae Majoris has a 12th magnitude companion star with the designation ADS 7494B.

One example of an unconventional subcritical fission pile is an Accelerator-Driven System ( ADS ) that has been proposed for, and in some places is currently being developed for, the Accelerator Transmutation of Waste ( ATW )— for example, using neutrons to transmute large quantities of extremely long-lived nuclear wastes, such as those produced ( mainly ) by conventional nuclear fission reactors, into much less long-lived transmuted elements.

ADS is a powerful research tool and has had a significant impact on the efficiency of astronomical research since it was launched in 1992.

Since about 1995, the number of ADS users has doubled roughly every two years.

ADS now has agreements with almost all astronomical journals, who supply abstracts.

The advent of preprint servers has, like ADS, had a significant impact on the rate of astronomical research, as papers are often made available from preprint servers weeks or months before they are published in the journals.

Since its inception, the ADS has developed a highly complex search engine to query the abstract and object databases.

ADS is almost universally used as a research tool among astronomers, and there are several studies that have estimated quantitatively how much more efficient ADS has made astronomy ; one estimated that ADS increased the efficiency of astronomical research by 333 full-time equivalent research years per year, and another found that in 2002 its effect was equivalent to 736 full-time researchers, or all the astronomical research done in France.

The great importance of ADS to astronomers has been recognized by the United Nations, the General Assembly of which has commended ADS on its work and success, particularly noting its importance to astronomers in the developing world, in reports of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.

The range of ADS usage per capita far exceeds the range of GDPs per capita, and basic research carried out in a country, as measured by ADS usage, has been found to be proportional to the square of the country's GDP divided by its population.

ADS has also been used to show that the fraction of single-author astronomy papers has decreased substantially since 1975 and that astronomical papers with more than 50 authors have become more common since 1990.

With Raytheon the U. S. Air Force has developed a nonlethal weapon system called Active Denial System ( ADS ) which emits a beam of radiation with a wavelength of 3 mm.

The concept has more recently been referred to as an accelerator-driven system ( ADS ).

The AAIB determined that improper maintenance of the ADS VOR Beacon had allowed water ingress causing the erroneous signal, which should have been detected by monitoring equipment, but this had been disconnected during construction work.

Literature searches that previously would have taken days or weeks can now be carried out in seconds via the ADS search engine, custom-built for astronomical needs.

As well as simple synonym replacement such as searching for both plural and singular forms, ADS also searches for a large number of specifically astronomical synonyms.

As well as English language synonyms, ADS also searches for English translations of foreign search terms and vice versa, so that a search for the French word soleil retrieves references to Sun, and papers in languages other than English can be returned by English search terms.

Peter Tribeman of NAD ( USA ) organized and presented a demonstration made possible by the collaborative effort of NAD, Proton, ADS, Lucasfilm and Dolby Labs, who contributed their technologies to demonstrate what a home cinema would " look and sound " like.

The global astronomical research budget is estimated at between 4, 000 and 5, 000 million USD, so the value of ADS to astronomy would be about 200 – 250 million USD annually.

While originally thought that an ADS would be a part of a light water reactor design, other proposals have been made that incorporate an ADS into other generation IV reactor concepts.

The inherent safety of an ADS, however, would allow Americium to be safely burned.

The documentary is used to combat deaths due to a previously unknown psychological disorder known as apocalyptic demise syndrome, or ADS.

In 1985 Lars Top-Galia ( guitar, previously in the band ADS ) joined the group, and the line-up stayed intact until 1996, when Peter Peter left due to disagreements within the band, partly owing to artistic differences.

Studies have found that the benefit to astronomy of the ADS is equivalent to several hundred million US dollars annually, and the system is estimated to have tripled the readership of astronomical journals.

The incorporation of preprints from the arXiv into ADS means that the search engine can return the most current research available, with the caveat that preprints may not have been peer reviewed or proofread to the required standard for publication in the main journals.

ADS and its subsidiaries, including VeriChip Corporation, have developed several kinds of implantable subdermal chips.

Stig played, in the early days, in a punk band called ADS.

The number of users of the service quadrupled in the five weeks following the introduction of the ADS web-based service.

Van der Walt said Zuma intervened in sorting out Nkobi's shareholding in ADS, a company strategically placed to get a multimillion-rand contract in the arms deal.

Use of ADS is almost universal among astronomers worldwide, and therefore ADS usage statistics can be used to analyze global trends in astronomical research.

Astronomical papers may cite and be cited by articles in journals which fall outside the scope of ADS, such as chemistry, mathematics or biology journals.

ADS usage statistics also suggest that astronomers in more developed countries tend to be more productive than those in less developed countries.

Within the NASA Astrophysics Data System ( ADS ) he also appears to be confused with a third Westphal, " Alfred Friedrich Julius Westphal " (" Dr. A. Westphal "), a geophysicist who lived from August 1, 1850 to 1924 and who first published in 1881.

There are technical difficulties to overcome before ADS can become economical and eventually be integrated into future nuclear waste management.

The ADS can be used for very deep dives of up to 2300 feet ( 700 m ) for many hours, and eliminates the majority of physiological dangers associated with deep diving ; the occupant need not decompress, there is no need for special gas mixtures, and there is no danger of decompression sickness or nitrogen narcosis.

Since 1991, the American Dialect Society ( ADS ) has designated one or more words or terms to be the " Word of the Year " in the United States.

The Motorola DCT3412 is similar to the Phase III 6412, but has no analog tuner and can only be used on cable systems where analog-digital simulcasting ( ADS ) is set up.

Taxpayers may be required to use ADS or otherwise may elect which of the three lives to use.

Other real property must be depreciated over 27. 5 years for residential property, 39 years for business property, and 40 years under ADS.

Certain assets must be depreciated under an alternative depreciation system ( ADS ), using the ADS life and the straight line method.

The ADS may be applied at the election of the taxpayer in lieu of regular depreciation.

In addition, the ADS must be used for computing depreciation deductions for the Alternative Minimum Tax.
